Introductions from the AIMS Symposium Google Group, brought here so it is all in one place. 

Courtney 

I feel like a bit of a keener for being first to post, but a quick browse of the list of attendees is very humbling and I just wanted to say how much I am looking forward to meeting everyone (or seeing those I've met before) in May. I'm on Twitter, @Snarkivist, though I'm still relatively new and shy about tweeting. My archives has a new blog that I will post to sometimes: www.vancouverarchives.ca  (AuthentiCity) and their own Twitter @VanArchives. 

For the last 2 years, I've been working with our digital archives team and a contractor (Artefactual Systems) towards building and implementing a bare metal install of Archivematica as part of a larger digital archives system that includes ICA-AtoM as its access module. By the end of this year, we hope to have ingested, stored, preserved and described around 25TB of digital materials from the 2010 Winter Games held here in Vancouver, in addition to nearly 200 boxes of analogue materials. I'm also personally very interested in digital forensics for pre-ingest processes.

Matthew Kirschenbaum

Hello everyone. I'm Matthew Kirschenbaum, Associate Professor of English at the University of Maryland and Associate Director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH). Broadly, I work in the emerging field known as digital humanities. More specifically, I'm interested in the issues AIMS is engaging from the standpoint of future scholarship and access, particularly with regard to literary and creative born-digital work. To that end I've worked on these projects and reports: 
Approaches to Managing and Collecting Born-Digital Literary Materials for Scholarly Use (NEH): http://www.neh.gov/ODH/Default.aspx?tabid=111&id=37 

Digital Forensics and Born-Digital Content in Cultural Heritage Collections (Mellon):  http://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub149abst.html 

Preserving Virtual Worlds (NDIIPP, IMLS), final report here: https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/handle/2142/17097 

I also co-teach, with Naomi Nelson, a course on Born-Digital Materials at the Rare Book School. 

Best, Matt
